The Work and Ipod

sooooo...if you buy songs from the Itunes store, you get art work which appears on your video window of your Ipod Nano Shuffle. I have "The Work" on my ipod, and yet I didn't get it through the ITunes store.....how so?

Also if you have the artwork for an album you can drag it onto your iTunes when the tracks are playing. Takes a bit of time but it works. I created covers for a lot of my Prince boots from my favorite pictures of him over the years.
When eye go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all heart up in the house but when eye log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming!

It's finding the closest thing possible based on the ID3 tag. I never let iTunes get other artwork for me. It's just as easy to images.google.com it up and drag the picture to the iTunes window (Right click a song or an album, and drag the picture to the Artwork window), and OK. Done.

It's probably using jpgs (eg. folder.jpg, small.jpg) that are in the folder where your mp3s are.

Some of my Prince songs have artwork pulled from the web that isn't Prince. Sometimes I get Fresh Prince artwork. It's frustrating.

But, if you bought it from iTunes, would the artwork also be pulled from Apple, or does iTunes search the web like when you download a CD?

Some of my albums go mental when on Cover View...behind the cover of 3121 are Queen tracks, Bowie Tracks, 1 Mavin Gaye, 2 Otis Reading and of course Prince
